Hi friends,

We successfully landed in Toronto on 23rd March, Friday night. The process was smooth as shared by various members earlier.  We were well prepared with our B4/B4A also as per Captain Qorax's thread and the Officer was impressed by that. Our friend was waiting for us so no worries at all.

24th we opened joint accounts in TD bank using DDs which we carried from India and the process took only 15 minutes. We were prepared to keep $5000/- as min balance so along with our account we got one locker, one US dollar account, 2 Gold visa cards with $5000 credit, unlimited free transactions and waiver all fees.

I got a connection for Chartr Mobile with $35 per month prepaid, with unlimited incoming and outgoing calls and text messages throughout Canada. We came to know this was the cheapest one available right now after checking at many operators.

Completed admission formalities and put both the kids in to school one to middle school & the other Secondary school.

Among the achievements, on the 3rd day of landing we got an opportunity to meet Captain Qorax.

Best of luck brother

Hope for the best , You will also get it.

Dear Barthlal,

Glad to see that you got your PPR request. Now obviously this means you have to land in June before your 1st medical date expires.

Your timeline is same as mine, and I did my medicals in July. So I still have hope that I might receive the PPR anytime.

Best
Ali

Hello all,

At the time of landing one issue happened with me. When I finished my immigration and coming out with my luggage, last security officer asked me whether I have goods to follow or not. I said I don't have but I have some jewelery back home, for which I have B4A form with list and 2 sets of Photo. The officer asked me whether it is stamped by jeweler or not. I said no. So he told me you must do it and then come to air port again for stamping it. So I got out from last exit.

Suddenly I got confused so I went to custom office again which is accessible from out side. Now I asked another custom officer for this issue. Surprisingly that officer did not asked me any stamped photo. He gave me another B4A form and told me to fill it up and come back to him. I seat in arrival waiting area and made another list with numbering the photos. I returned to him. He just stamped my photo's,B4A form and gave me one copy from it for my reference. They did not checked any accompanying goods list or B4 form and not stamped it either. I don't know whether it is right or wrong but was my experience. 

So the moral of the story is, if your are bringing any jewelry list with you, try to get stamped photo's from any jeweler. It is not sure that IO will check those stamps but it is for your ease.

Regards,

U could 'wire transfer' from most UAE based Forex Houses... I constantly do thru Al Fardan Exch. They charge AED50 per transaction & there's be another CAD24 back charges here. The funds r credited to ur Canadian bank a/c on-the-spot.

The "valuation sign/stamp" from a jeweller isn't required unless ur ornaments r of very high value... just the pics would do. Probably the 1st BSO wasn't aware of it, while ur 2nd BSO did.
